NSW man denies murdering baby daughter

A Sydney man who allegedly said he bit and shook his baby for cultural reasons has pleaded not guilty to murdering the two-month-old girl.

In the NSW Supreme Court on Friday, the 35-year-old, who cannot be identified, pleaded not guilty to murdering her on November 17, 2015, and to assaulting her occasioning actual bodily harm on November 13.

Justice Elizabeth Fullerton listed the estimated three-week trial to start on October 15.

The man unsuccessfully applied for bail in the Supreme court last month.

Justice Natalie Adams was told the father allegedly told police he had bitten and shaken the child "for cultural reasons".

He was said to have been holding the baby while the mother was in the kitchen preparing a bottle.
